The short explanation of this alert was:

Stagehands, Janitors, Building Engineers Locked Out, Fired at LA Forum
Faithful Central Bible Church, the Forum’s Owner, Won't Meet with Local 33

After more than two years of negotiations, Faithful Central Bible Church’s bargaining agent forced steep cuts on Forum workers. Wages were cut more than 30 percent. Workable hours were also slashed.

Not content, management then locked veteran stagehands out of their jobs. These men and women, members of IA 33 eager to return to work, stand on the sidewalk as replacement workers are brought in on church buses. In spite of its direct involvement, the Church has tried to wash its hands of the dispute and other unions, including Operating Engineers 501 and SEIU 1877. Bishop Ulmer has yet to meet with any workers or their unions.

Local 33, Operating Engineers 501 and SEIU 1877 are asking the entertainment, labor and religious communities to fax a letter to Faithful Central Bible Church, urging a just resolution to this dispute.

Support your union brothers and sisters today!
